Political Figures

America has much greatness left in her. We will begin to thrive again when we begin to believe in ourselves again, when we regain our respect for our founding documents, when we balance our budget, when we understand that capitalism and free markets and free individuals are what creates our nation’s prosperity.
Rand Paul, Tea Party Response to the State of the Union, 2013

The U.S. Senator and son of libertarian icon Ron Paul has characterized himself as a "constitutional conservative" with libertarian leanings. While sometimes criticized by purists for compromising on certain issues, Paul has been one of the most reliably libertarian voices in Congress on issues of war, surveillance, and fiscal restraint. His approach represents an attempt to advance libertarian principles within the constraints of the two-party system, balancing ideological purity with practical political effectiveness.

Sidebar: A board-certified ophthalmologist, Paul has served medical missions in Guatemala and Haiti, restoring eyesight to hundreds of people blinded by cataracts. After becoming a senator, Paul continued performing surgeries for years, at times flying home on weekends to offer free procedures.
